[Venous capacity and venous drainage capacity of the legs in subjects with healthy vascular systems].
In altogether 102 probands (51 men and 51 woman) with an average of 35 and 27.5 years, respectively, on the two calves and the two ankles the venous capacity and the average inclincation of the tissue to swelling were determined in the deep positioning experiment. Apart from this, with the help of the venous drainage experiment we established the venous reflux speed in the region of the lower extremities. From the 2040 measured values received for each measuring place the mean values x and the standard deviation s were calculated. Besides, it was sought for statistically significant differences between the individual mesuring places as well as between men and women. With the help of these investigation methods we succeeded in establishing several parameters of the venous haemodynamics quantitatively and on an unbloody way and in making them usable for the recognition of disturbances of the venous circulation in the region of the legs.
